cybersecurity, social network services, privacy, credibility, etc.
Contributions on novel methods may be motivated by insightful observations
on the limitations of existing data science methods to address practical
challenges, or by studying entirely novel data science problems. Research
contributions on theoretical and methodological foundations of data
science, such as optimization for machine learning and new algorithms for
data mining, are also welcomed.
*Research Contributions May Include:*

Overview of Special Issue
Digital technology has been transforming how individuals, organizations,
and societies use information to improve their decision making on their
daily lives and daily operations. In recent years, the healthcare industry
has also actively engaged in the adoption of digital technology and enabled
the formation of digital health. The digital health covers lots of advanced
technologies, such as mobile health (mHealth), health information
technology (HIT), wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, health
data analytics and personalized medicine (Lupton 2018). These technologies
offer new exciting opportunities to improve medical outcomes, enhance
efficiency and balance health resources.
In particular, digital health can better collect, process and analyze
health-related information, and provide decision support for patients,
doctors, healthcare organizations, public health management and medical
research (Guha and Kumar 2018). There are many positive and negative issues
associated with the use of digital health by these stakeholders. On the one
hand, digital health can empower patients to make better decisions about
their own health and provide new options for facilitating prevention, early
diagnosis, surveillance, management and prediction of chronic conditions
outside traditional healthcare settings (Lin et al. 2017). Doctors can also
get a more holistic view of patient health through access to data and
improve quality of care (Lin et al. 2019). Pharmaceutical companies and
digital health companies can also benefit from patient-generated knowledge
for the advancement of medical research (Kallinikos and Tempini 2014) and
the design of personalized healthcare interventions (Bernardi 2019). On the
other hand, the integration of digital technology in the healthcare
industry presents risks such as the spread of misinformation (e.g. anti-vax
communities, Doty 2015), the disclosure of patients' privacy that could be
used by health insurance companies to make discriminatory pricing (McFall
and Moor 2018), increased doctors' technical anxiety and slow acceptance of
digital health innovation (Bernardi and Exworthy 2019), and health
inequalities due to the digital exclusion of patients (Latulippe et al.
2017; Halford and Savage 2010).
The healthcare industry is one of the largest and also one of the most
important industries for citizens’ wellbeing. Addressing the complexities
of today’s various negative and positive healthcare issues requires more
than one perspective and needs more interdisciplinary collaboration and
research. The rapid development of advanced technologies and methodologies
such as social media, Internet of things (IoT) data analytics, machine
learning, artificial intelligence (AI) brings lots of opportunities to
handle the complicated problems in the healthcare industry. It makes it
possible to improve people’s health conditions smartly and comfortably.
However, the adoption of digital technology in health care usually lags
behind other industries, as some major technological and managerial
obstacles still remain (Bunduchi et al. 2015). Obstacles include the lack
of health data integration, data overload issues, data privacy and
security, and limited or inefficient data visualization (Agarwal et al.
2010). At the same time, academics need to address the issues related to
the dark side and potential risks of digital health. This special issue
aims to serve as a forum in which healthcare, computer science, management
and social science scholars can come together to discuss new emerging
issues related to the bright side and the dark side of digital health. It
invites submissions from a variety of methodological, theoretical, and
multidisciplinary perspectives. Theoretical work that engages critically
with the debate about the bright and dark sides of digital health is also
welcome. In bringing technical, behavioral, clinical, and managerial
perspectives together, this special issue hopes to generate new insights
into the design, adoption, utilization, and management of digital health as
well as an understanding of its risks and adverse consequences for
individuals, organizations, and societies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Participating behavior of digital health
• Knowledge sharing and knowledge seeking of online health communities
• Knowledge discovery and decision support based on online health
communities and clinical decision-making systems
• Social and economic return of digital health
• Data privacy, trust and security in digital health
• Fake information and information fraud in online health communities
• Online-offline data integration and analytics
• Organizational, operational, clinical and financial implications of
digital health
• Health, social and economic impact of digital health
• Big data analytics and artificial intelligence application
• Theories, models and classification frameworks that shed light on the
bright side and dark side of digital health
• Methods for studying the bright side and dark side of digital health and
its impact on individuals, communities (societies) and organizations
• Understanding how individuals, communities and organizations can
minimize, prevent or respond to the dark side of digital health
• Understanding what motivates individuals, communities and organizations
to deliberately engage in digital health
• Examining the dark side (outcomes, behaviors and practices) that
accidently or unintentionally emerge in digital health
• The ethics of the dark sides of digital health (especially with recent AI
developments and uses in digital health)
• Region, sector and industry-focused studies on the bright side and dark
side of digital health
• Economic impact of digital health on the healthcare industry
• The effects of digital health on epidemic or pandemic outbreaks
Important dates
• Submission due: September 1, 2020
